So tomorrow I will accept Matilda's slot at Raoul Wallenberg HS
PHEW! What an unbelievable amount of pointless stress for you all.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Congrats to Matilda (and the rest of the family). One thing ... "after school ramen"? guess the old malt shop is a thing of the past ....

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, I'm so glad Matilda finally has a school!
ltc fell asleep relatively easily last night but then was awake several times, possibly with nightmares. So, we are the house of the exhausted again today. TCG is at work, and ltc and I are hiding in our own corners. She's on her tablet, and I'm on my computer.

The malt shoppe equivalent at her Middle School was a Boba shop.

Our wings are not tired.
So pleased to hear that Matilda has a school finally. Phew, what a relief.
You know what I just started doing that I have discovered I fucking hate? Painting out trim/baseboards. It takes a level of exactitude that is really hard for me to maintain for, like, more than 10 minutes. It also involves a lot of bending which is not great on my back!
We have a tiny doctor who has told DH that whenever he is ready they can both quit their jobs to do house flipping, and he can paint the ceilings and she'll get the baseboards. One day I snapped a picture of DH painting a ceiling and texted it to her with a message that he needed help. Her husband read the message, but didn't look at the picture and paged her at the hospital to let her know Brendon needed help. She called me and we had a good laugh.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Gud, I'm so glad your daughter could share that with you.
Congratulations Matilda on finally getting a new school!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's official - after 25 minutes on hold I was able to confirm and secure Matilda's slot at Wallenberg.
It'll take at least 24 hours for it to propagate through the system, and then she will need to get a class schedule, but she should be taking online classes no later than Thursday.
